A significant milestone for Nueva Vizcaya State University as the licensing of the Ginger Turmeric Chips to 3J Canaan Food Products is officially highlighted during TechImpact 2026! This achievement marks the university's 3rd Technology Licensing Agreement (TLA) and its 4th commercialized technology to date.

Gratitude is extended to DOST Region 2 through the TECHGROW Project for funding the Php53,000.00 Fairness Opinion Board (FOB) Transaction Fee. This critical investment was essential in navigating the complex technical requirements and communications needed to finalize this TLA.

Recognition also goes to the DOST-PCAARRD Technology Transfer and Promotion Division (TTPD) for funding the NVSU IPTBM Project under the Regional Agri-Aqua Innovation System Enhancement (RAISE) Program, providing the foundation to sustain these commercialization initiatives.

Acknowledgment is likewise due to the IPTBM team, in close coordination with the DOST R2 FOB Secretariat and the Inventors (Ms. Evangeline H. Castro and Ms. Ermelinda P. Depayso), for executing the technicalities of Technology IP Protection and the Commercialization (Licensing) process. This success highlights the university's commitment to bringing innovative research directly to the commercial market.

The Nueva Vizcaya State University (NVSU) IPTBM Office, in partnership with DOST Regional Office II through the TECHGROW Program, held the Fairness Opinion Board (FOB) Evaluation Meeting on April 29, 2026, via Zoom.

The meeting reviewed the "Biogas Digester" technology developed by Dr. Sony P. Aquino for the creation of a Spin-off Company (Malachi Clean Technologies Corporation). This is the first technology in NVSU and the entire Cagayan Valley to undergo the FOB evaluation process for a spin-off.

Following the licensing of the Ginger Turmeric Chips, this is the second technology to be commercialized by the university this year, directly supporting NVSU Development Goal 3: Technology Commercialization.

The Biogas Digester is designed to convert organic waste, primarily swine manure, into biogas as a renewable energy source. This innovative solution promotes sustainable energy use and efficient waste management. Now at the transfer stage, the university intends to commercialize it through a formal spinoff to maximize its reach and impact.

As required by Republic Act No. 10055 (Technology Transfer Act of 2009), the FOB ensures that government-funded technologies are transferred fairly, clearly, and on equal terms. A team of legal, technical, and financial experts reviewed the proposed licensing terms, technology value, and benefits to both public and private group.

NVSU extends its gratitude to DOST R2, all FOB members, the FOB Secretariat, and facilitators for their strong support. Through sustained collaboration and integrity in the transfer process, we continue to pave the way for a more innovative, inclusive, and empowered Cagayan Valley!
